Aliath Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Here are two amazing games for the RPG fanatic.Phantasy Star OnlineLet me start by saying that Phantasy Star Universe is a bunch of crap.This, dear reader, is my favorite game of all time. Released in 2000, this Dreamcast game (which has been ported to the PC, Gamecube, and others) was the first of it's kind: An online console game. Don't be put off by it's release date, though-- the PC version looks better and has been updated, so to speak (new class, etc) and the game itself has aged beautifully. You wouldn't be able to tell that it's so old (well, most of the time.) The gameplay, storyline, music and artwork are all amazing. It's an online fantasy/futuristic RPG, but by no means is it an MMO. Players start out in a lobby where they begin a game (with up to three other players, which is recommended), which then teleports them to the spaceship/colony PIONEER II. From there, they can access shops, an infirmary, a bank, etc. But the main attraction is the teleporter which beams you down to the surface -or subterranean levels, depending on how far you've progressed- of the planet Ragol. Now, onto classes.Classes are divided into three categories: Hunters (melee weapons), Rangers (ranged weapons) and Force (techniques, or magic.) Each category allows you to choose between several classes divided between three races: Humans (ability to learn techniques, can be poisoned/paralyzed), CAST (cannot learn techniques, can see traps, immune to poison/paralysis) and Newmans (like humans, but are more apt with techniques.) The game allows for much customization, and you can even download your own custom skin.This game is free.http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ5j7Pd2oXM&feature=relatedAnd here's a look at the much-anticipated Phantasy Star Online 2. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwDq7K1Ij9sDemon's SoulsNot for the faint of heart. Some of you have probably heard of this critically-acclaimed game renowned for it's sheer difficulty. Veterans of RPGs only. You're in for a lot of frustration and tension.http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnEzkbdTa0I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycow73 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I like the weird boob enlargement in the second video, but dislike all the Japanese. Regarding the third video, I don't have a PS3 sadly. Looks mighty fun though. I'm in need of a new possible MMORPG to get me out of the mood of WoW.

Crazycow73 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I really liked Rakion, it was more fighting based, but it is rather old and the shops are too IMBA. Another fun one is League of Legends, its a newer game and it is made by the DoTA makers for all those WC3 fans out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no English trailer because, like most Japanese games, it'll be released there first. There will be an English version, rest assured.AND IT ISN'T AN MMO!!! xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MstrMonopoly Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 DotA is possibly my favorite videogame of all time.Outside of RuneScape, that is. RuneScape isn't a videogame, it's a way of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Final Fantasy 1,2, and 3. Best Rpg's ever made. I also was a big fan of the Dragon Warrior series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliath Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 The only Final Fantasy game I've beaten is Crisis Core on the PSP, and it got me wanting to play FFVII. I haven't gotten around to it yet, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Play the first ones at least 2 and 3 for snes. (1 wasnt the greatest at all but the roots of ff) You can use roms and emulators to play on your pc. If you can handle the low graphics. But those were the best rpg's of that time, after those final fantasy went down hill. Final Fantasy tactics was alright though tbh. I played 7 but I didnt care too much for it due to it being a completely different gamestyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aliath Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Oblivion. Skyrim is out in November!!Oblivion (well, Morrowind started it) certainly was an important game I like Bethesda's style. Oblivion was silly fun, and so was Fallout 3. I enjoyed New Vegas but got bored of it quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deus Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I liked the game of the year edition of morwind, I bought oblivion but never played it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 oblivion was great when i discovered the duplication glitch. I loved enchanting all my stuff and being invisible lolI guess i liked it because it's similar to runescape in a way.You have alot of skills and you can level them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycow73 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Let's hear it for Oblivion and Skyrim! Skyrim is going to be AMAZING. So pumped for it. Bethesda deserves every award they get for the Elder Scroll Series. Beautifully made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 My recommendations:Dragon Age: Origins-Deep story, deep characters, deep gameplay, it's my all time favorite game.Skyrim-This is obvious.Shadow of the Colossus-Not exactly an RPG, but no less than a masterpiece an RPG gamer can appreciate.FInal Fantasy XIII-Very average game, but its cheap nowadays, and you could probably squeeze 50+ hours of gameplay out of it for its $20 cost.

Mageman Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Dragon Age Origins was good, but number 2 was poorly made. Final Fabtasy XIII was trash in my opinion, I wouldn't get it. Ive been a fan of all FF games that I could get my hands on since FF 2 for SNES, this just tarnished the reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Despite the hate, I actually enjoyed Dragon Age 2. It can't beat Origins, though. FF XIII is average, as I said, but you can do worse for $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I don't know, $20 is like... ten 5-layer beefy burritos at Taco Bell. Would much rather have the burritos, since they both turn into explosive diarreha after about 30mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
